About USC
USC TodayLocated near the heart of Los Angeles, the University of Southern California is one of the top private research universities in the United States, attracting students from around the globe and operating an integrated academic medical center that serves more than a million patients each year.
Since its establishment in 1880, USC has conferred degrees on more than a quarter-million students — leaders who have helped Southern California emerge as an international trendsetter in public policy, economic and business affairs, urban planning and engineering, scientific research, health care, communications and the arts.
Today, USC and its graduates carry forward this heritage of leadership — developing innovative opportunities for learning, exploring new fields of scholarship and investigation, and establishing a widening network of service and partnership among the nations of the Pacific Rim.
The traditional function of the university is to teach students — and at USC, teaching takes place in the classroom, studio, laboratory, seminar room and on the playing field, as well as where students live. USC is committed to promoting lifelong learning and to the principle that education is most effectively carried out in a context that encourages the creation of new knowledge.
USC places a premium on research and scholarship and on the professional and scholarly credentials of its faculty. Since 1969, USC has been a member of the Association of American Universities, the elective body that unites the 62 premier research universities in the United States and Canada.
The University of Southern California is accredited by the Western Association of Schools and Colleges, 985 Atlantic Ave., Suite 100, Alameda, CA 94501, (510) 748-9001. Students may review USC's accreditation documents by contacting Robin Romans, associate provost for undergraduate programs.
Throughout its history, USC has performed a wide variety of roles in service to its constituencies — contributing to the welfare of its own students, faculty, staff and alumni, as well as to Southern California, the nation and the world. In particular, the university's hospitals, affiliated hospitals and partnerships with business and nonprofit organizations help make USC's expertise available to the community at large.
Academic ProgramsThe University of Southern California upholds a tradition of academic strength at all levels — from the earliest explorations of the undergraduate to the advanced scholarly research of the postdoctoral fellow.
USC offers bachelor's degrees in more than 150 undergraduate majors, and, as of fall 2009, graduate students were enrolled in more than 340 master's, certificate, doctoral and professional degree programs. Hand in hand with this wide array of majors, USC has developed some 150 different academic and professional minors — the broadest selection of any U.S. university — to encourage students to study subjects across widely separated fields. Students may select from a variety of degree combinations under the direction of the College of Letters, Arts and Sciences, the Graduate School and the university's 17 professional schools.
The heart of the university's liberal education program is the USC College of Letters, Arts and Sciences. The largest of USC's academic divisions — in terms of both student enrollment and faculty — the college serves some 6,250 undergraduates and 1,650 graduate students, and offers nearly 60 undergraduate majors, 80 undergraduate minors, 25 doctoral degree programs and 20 master's programs. In addition to the undergraduate degrees offered by the college, many of the university's professional schools also offer bachelor's degree programs.
FacultyUSC's full-time faculty numbers more than 3,200. In addition, more than 4,400 volunteer faculty members are affiliated with the Keck School of Medicine of USC, and more than 430 volunteer faculty are affiliated with the USC School of Pharmacy. Research, teaching, patient care and community service are supported by a staff of nearly 10,800.
USC's faculty includes Nobel laureate George A. Olah (1994), National Humanities Medal winner Kevin Starr (2006), National Medal of Arts winner Morten Lauridsen (2007), National Medal of Science winner Andrew Viterbi (2007), Turing Prize recipient Leonard Adleman (2003) and University Professor Michael Waterman, co-developer of the Smith-Waterman Algorithm (the cornerstone of computational genomics). More than 200 faculty members have received prestigious academic and professional awards from organizations as varied as the National Institutes of Health, the National Science Foundation, the Department of Homeland Security, the National Endowment for the Humanities, the Alfred P. Sloan Foundation, the John Simon Guggenheim Foundation and the Academy of Motion Picture Arts and Sciences. Also on the faculty are members of the National Academy of Sciences (13), National Academy of Engineering (32), Institute of Medicine (14) and American Academy of Arts and Sciences (24).
StudentsDiversity is a hallmark of the USC student community. USC students come from all 50 states, seven territories and 150 countries. There are 35,000 students enrolled at the university, including some 17,000 undergraduates and 18,000 graduate and professional students. In fall 2009, nearly 52 percent of new freshmen were from California. Over 43 percent of the university's total enrollment is composed of American minorities; a further 10.6 percent are international students. For eight consecutive years, USC has been at the top of American universities in terms of international enrollment. Among undergraduates, approximately 50 percent are men and 50 percent are women.
The middle 50 percent SAT range of the 2009 enrolled freshman class was 1930–2150. The average unweighted GPA was 3.70; weighted was 4.05. In fall 2009, there were 232 National Merit Scholars.
USC students consistently earn nationally competitive scholarships and fellowships, including Fulbright, Marshall, Rhodes and Truman scholarships.
Research SupportUSC is one of a small number of premier research institutions upon which the United States depends for a steady stream of new knowledge, art and technology. The university has more than $520 million in annual research expenditures. The most recent Top American Research Universities report ranks USC 10th among private universities and 17th among all U.S. universities in federal research support.
LibrariesThe USC Libraries develop collections and services that support and encourage the academic endeavors of faculty, students and staff; build a community of critical consumers of information; and help develop engaged world citizens.

Hospitals and Patient CareThe schools of medicine, pharmacy and dentistry, together with the divisions of biokinesiology and physical therapy and of occupational science and occupational therapy, train professionals in the health care fields, conduct original research in all aspects of biomedicine and health care, and provide high-quality patient care to the Southern California community.
Health care facilities on the Health Sciences campus include USC University Hospital, the USC Norris Comprehensive Cancer Center and Hospital, Healthcare Consultation Centers I and II and the Doheny Eye Institute. The 411-bed University Hospital is an ultra-modern facility offering many specialized services and procedures that are beyond the scope of most community hospitals.
The Keck School of Medicine of USC also provides medical staffing for the adjacent Los Angeles County+USC Medical Center, which is one of the largest teaching hospitals in the country and the largest single provider of health care in Los Angeles County. Owned and operated by Los Angeles County, the medical center treats more than 28 percent of the region's trauma victims. In addition, it operates one of only three burn centers in the county, a Level I trauma center and one of the few Level III neo-natal intensive care units in Southern California. At LAC+USC, Keck School faculty care for patients and train more than 900 medical residents and fellows.
The Doctors of USC is the private medical practice in which more than 500 physicians who are faculty members of the Keck School of Medicine provide care in a wide range of medical specialties from the most complex diagnoses and treatments to primary care for the entire family. Besides seeing patients on the Health Sciences campus, faculty doctors have private practice offices at The Doctors of USC Downtown, Childrens Hospital Los Angeles, and other locations throughout Los Angeles and Southern California.
The USC School of Pharmacy operates pharmacies in the Gwynn Wilson Student Union on the University Park campus and the Medical Plaza Pharmacy (in Healthcare Consultation Center I building) on the Health Sciences campus. These pharmacies provide full pharmacy services including disease screenings, immunizations, medication therapy management, medication compounding and an international travel clinic. School of Pharmacy faculty, residents and students also provide pharmacy services and patient consultations at the USC University Hospital, USC Norris Comprehensive Cancer Center, the LAC+USC Medical Center and other hospitals, clinics, skilled nursing facilities, home health care agencies and pharmacies throughout Southern California.
Faculty, students and residents of the Ostrow School of Dentistry of USC practice at the Norris Dental Science Center on the University Park campus (UPC) and faculty see patients at the USC Oral Health Center located in University Village adjacent to UPC and other locations throughout Southern California.
Biokinesiology and physical therapy faculty see patients at the USC Physical Therapy Associates clinics in University Village, at USC University Hospital and clinical offices in the Health Research Associates building adjacent to the Health Sciences campus.
The USC Occupational Therapy Faculty Practice sees patients at USC University Hospital and in the Clinical Sciences Center on the Health Sciences campus. The faculty also offers a number of lifestyle redesign programs at both the University Park and Health Science campuses.
Community RelationsUSC has been a university in the city and of the city for more than 125 years. Having grown, and grown up, with Los Angeles, USC places a high value on being a good neighbor and on programs that have a positive and visible impact on the neighborhoods adjacent to both the University Park and Health Sciences campuses.
Toward this end, USC President Steven B. Sample in 1992 articulated five university-community initiatives aimed at strengthening the neighborhoods around USC's campuses, deepening USC's ties to these diverse communities and fostering positive relations between USC and the people who are most directly affected by USC's presence there. Implemented in partnership with community agencies, leaders and public officials, the initiatives: (1) provide special educational, cultural and developmental opportunities for children who live in the immediate neighborhoods; (2) work with neighbors, city and county officials, and the Los Angeles Police Department to provide safer streets in the areas surrounding the two campuses; (3) encourage more entrepreneurs, and especially minority entrepreneurs, to establish businesses in the immediate vicinity of the campuses; (4) encourage more USC employees to own and occupy housing in the immediate vicinity of the campuses; and (5) strive to employ at USC more persons who live in the immediate neighborhoods.
Today, academic and administrative units across the university are involved with some 340 community service programs that are making a real difference in the lives of USC's neighbors. Through the USC Family of Schools, for example, the university partners with 15 local schools, improving the classroom experience for more than 17,000 K-12 students. Since 1997, the Neighborhood Academic Initiative has offered a college-preparation program that now serves nearly 500 middle- and high-school students each year; of the 533 scholars who have completed the program, more than 180 are now attending or have graduated from USC with full financial assistance. Kid Watch, launched in 1996, brings together the university, the Los Angeles Police Department, the Los Angeles School Police Department and more than 950 community volunteers to watch over more than 8,500 students as they walk to and from school. The FUENTE initiative provides poison prevention and education to first-grade students and their parents through the USC School of Pharmacy. Since its inception in 1996, the USC Homeownership program has helped nearly 150 university employees purchase homes in the neighborhoods surrounding the University Park and Health Sciences campuses. And the USC Local Vendor program and Small Business Development Office help create economic opportunities for neighborhood residents as well as small and minority-owned businesses.
Additionally, since 1994, faculty and staff have lent their support to the university-community initiatives by making voluntary contributions to the annual USC Good Neighbors Campaign. As of 2009, the campaign has raised more than $11 million, of which $9 million has benefited 365 university-community partnership projects.
For more information about these community service programs and USC's neighborhoods, visit USC's community Web site (www.usc.edu/community).
Cultural LifeUSC and its graduates play an important role in making Los Angeles one of the world's great centers for the arts. The USC Thornton School of Music is the most active producer of live music performances in the city, presenting more than 500 concerts annually. The USC School of Theatre produces a full schedule of performances as well, the USC Fisher Museum of Art regularly offers exhibitions ranging from contemporary works to antiquities, and the USC School of Cinematic Arts presents a wide variety of film screenings and other events, many of which are open to the public. In addition, USC's storied Doheny Memorial Library hosts lectures, readings, conferences, concerts and special exhibits. For up-to-date information about cultural events at USC, call the University Ticket Office at (213) 740‑7111 or visit the online arts and events calendar (www.usc.edu/calendar).
AthleticsUSC sponsors nine varsity sports for men and 10 for women, involving more than 500 of the nation's top-ranked athletes. In their pursuit of athletic and academic excellence, USC varsity teams have won more national championships than all but two NCAA member institutions: 22 women's team titles and 89 men's team titles — including 11 unofficial football titles. USC is one of only three universities in intercollegiate athletic history to win at least five national championships in one year (1962-63 and 1976-77). Fifty USC athletes have been awarded NCAA postgraduate scholarships.
In Olympic competition, USC has fielded more athletes than any other institution. Since 1904, 388 Trojan athletes have participated in the Olympic games, accumulating a total of 122 gold, 76 silver and 60 bronze medals.
At least one USC athlete has won a gold medal in every summer Olympiad since 1912, making USC the only university in the world with this distinction.
USC Alumni AssociationWith more than 300,000 members worldwide, the USC Alumni Association's mission is to support the overall advancement of USC. In support of this mission, the USC Alumni Association strives to engage all alumni for life, build a culture of philanthropy among the Trojan Family and be a representative voice for all alumni.
With more than 100 affiliated alumni clubs, alumnae support groups and multicultural alumni associations, the USC Alumni Association distributes more than $1 million each year in scholarships to USC students, annually hosts more than 250 events and programs around the world, and provides benefits and services to all USC alumni.
Every summer in July and August, alumni clubs around the world host SCend Offs, a USC tradition, welcoming new students and connecting current students, families and friends to the Trojan Family. The student outreach program, Society 53, offers programs and events that link students to USC's vast alumni network. The USC Alumni Association also offers SCions, students who are descendents or siblings of USC alumni, scholarships as well as volunteer opportunities. To learn more about the USC Alumni Association and its student programs, visit alumni.usc.edu/students or call (213) 740-2300.
University Park CampusLocated at the same site since USC's establishment in 1880 on eight acres of land in the city of Los Angeles, the University Park campus has grown to its present size of 226 acres. Situated three miles south of the Los Angeles Civic Center, the campus is adjacent to the museums and recreational facilities of Exposition Park and is served by a network of freeways that provides access to most cultural, business and recreational areas of Southern California.
The University Park campus consists of 159 buildings and residence halls totaling approximately 8.2 million gross square feet, including the newly opened USC School of Cinematic Arts complex as well as the Ronald Tutor Campus Center slated to open in fall 2010. Some 70 additional university buildings are located off campus, in the immediate vicinity.
Health Sciences CampusLocated three miles northeast of downtown Los Angeles, the USC Health Sciences campus is a focal point for students, patients and scientists from around the world. Here a blend of clinical, classroom and laboratory resources combines to form a dynamic, interactive environment that is shaping the future of health care.
The 61-acre Health Sciences campus is home to the region's first and oldest medical and pharmacy schools, as well as to highly respected programs in biokinesiology and physical therapy and in occupational science and occupational therapy. Medical care is provided by the Doctors of USC at two fully owned hospitals — the state-of-the-art USC University Hospital and USC Norris Cancer Hospital — as well as at the Doheny Eye Institute and the adjacent Los Angeles County+USC Medical Center, the primary teaching hospital for the Keck School of Medicine for more than a century. The acclaimed Childrens Hospital Los Angeles, staffed by Keck School faculty, is often referred to as USC's third campus. Health sciences faculty, residents and students also provide services at affiliated hospitals and health-care providers throughout Southern California, and at the USC University Park campus, a collaborative partner in numerous health sciences-related programs.
Other LocationsUSC's other teaching facilities include the Orange County Center, State Capital Center and Wrigley Marine Science Center on Catalina Island.

So What's the Deal with Cornell Chicken?
If you're from upstate or western New York, and feel like getting all nostalgic, you may want to take a peak at the other videos posted there. Enjoy!
Note: I couldn't find a decent photo of Cornell chicken for this post, so I used this picture from our grilled lemon yogurt chicken recipe.

I'm from Western New York, south of Buffalo near the PA border, and this is the same exact recipe/method that they used in our area for Fireman's BBQ. The Fire Halls would have a BBQ to raise money and people would FLOCK there to scarf chicken. There's also a place in Alfred (Alfred Almond maybe) called Stearns. They raise and sell live and dressed turkeys, some out of this world stuffing and Stearns BBQ sauce which uses the same ingredients she mentions in the video.

Sorry--your substitute chicken just doesn't look right! I live in northern Maine, but Cornell chicken is what I grew up with--the head of the local Birds Eye plant when I was a kid had previously worked in the poultry industry, he started chicken barbecues as church fundraisers that are still a tradition today, and that's the sauce that was always on our bbq chicken at home. My daughter made it for friends when she was stationed in HI and everyone figured it couldn't be any good without red sauce, but soon changed their minds!
- April 18, 2010 at 6:08 PM
should be called SYRACUSE chicken, because the orange are superior to the big red in every way. and also the NYS fair is in Syracuse, not in Ithaca.

Chef John,
Sometimes the legend is only a legend because somebody says it is. The original recipe doesn't call for overnight marinade. Maybe a brine/vinegar solution. This is the recipe I use that I think makes a better chicken.
- April 19, 2010 at 10:46 PM
- Pyrofish said...
Anyone know if this is similar to Spiedies? That's a marinade I was just recently introduced to from Bingham NY I believe. It sounds similar, except for the recipe I found for Spiedie marinade has a few more ingredients.
- April 20, 2010 at 8:46 AM
hi chef john,
have you seen this?

yes, thanks!

Volleyball squad wins a pair in Southwest triangular
Gothenburg traveled to Southwest Sept. 10 taking both matches in a triangular that included Sutherland.
Gothenburg defeated Sutherland 25-22, 25-14 in the first match before beating host Southwest 25-19, 22-25, 25-19
Head coach Mary Clark said in a three-set match, winning that first set is important.
"As a team you want to set the tone early," Clark said. "We started slow but once we got rolling we took control of the match."
Gothenburg's Tiani Reeves led the team with 11 kills.
Sutherland made it a match but they weren't making their points necessarily, Clark said.
"We gave them the majority of their points in that first game."
The Swedes played Southwest to three sets following their win over Sutherland.
Gothenburg once again set the tone of the match with a 25-19 victory in the first set.
"We served well and passed much better in the first game," Clark said. "We were in control from start to finish."
Southwest, ranked eighth in Class D-1, took advantage of Swede errors to take the second game 25-22, forcing a third game.
"We gained control and momentum right away in the third set," Clark said. "The team went back to its strengths of power hitting and playing smart and efficiently."
Gothenburg won the set, 25-22, and the match.
Reeves led the Swedes again with 12 kills, complemented with eight kills from Regan Geiken.
"Our middle hitters really dominated the game," Clark said. "They did a good job hitting from different spots and placing the ball."
Clark continues to work on serve receive and serving with her team and it is paying off.
She said Aryn Meisinger served the ball well and had a couple aces that pumped up the team.

Singer Amy Grant supported her husband Vince Gill in Los Angeles on Thursday (06Sep12) as he was awarded a star on the Hollywood Walk of Fame.
The 27-time Grammy winner was honored with the 2,478th star on the prestigious Hollywood Boulevard, next to his wife Grant's honor in front of the popular eaterie Hard Rock Hollywood.
Both the I Will Remember You hitmaker and his 20-year-old daughter Jenny were on hand for the ceremony, as were dozens of waiting fans and his country star pal Reba McEntire.
Touched by his new accolade and the size of the crowd, Gill said, "I remember as a 19 year old kid walking these streets and looking at these stars. You know the truth is, it never even entered my mind that (having my own) would ever be a possibility."

Unveiled, the exhibit, opened its doors in Perth, Australia in collaboration with London's Victoria and Albert Museum after appearing in Singapore. The exhibit displays wedding gowns from the 1800s up to recent fashion icons Gwen Stefani and Dita Von Teese. The wedding gallery, on display in Perth until March 24, is complete with an optional high tea at the entrance of the exhibition. I had the opportunity to cover the event and to get a sneak peek of the exhibit as one of the first fashion columnists to view and cover the historical fashion collection at the Western Australian Museum.
The wedding time capsule features gowns and wedding accessories dating back to 200 years ago. Gowns and wedding accessories are on display from designers Philip Treacy, Vivienne Westwood, John Galliano, Vera Wang, Christian Louboutin, Lanvin, Christian Lacroix and a contemporary piece at the entrance of the exhibit by Western Australian designer Aurelio Costarella.
Keynote speakers for the launch of the Unveiled 200 Years of Wedding Glamour included CEO Alec Coles, of the Western Australia Museum, and Edwina Ehrman, Curator, of Fashion and Textiles at the Victoria and Albert Museum.
After attending the opening ceremony, I had the opportunity to view the exhibit again. I quickly learned why the color of choice for brides happened to be white. "By the 1820s, wedding dresses made in shades of white and cream were the fashionable choice for young women from well-to-do families, marrying for the first time," explained Edwina Ehrman.
200 Years of Wedding Glamour showcases the wedding trends of the time period explaining where the veil was actually worn before wearing it over the face, what brides were accustomed to wear on their wedding day under their dress, and a peek at the Lanvin Spring 2008 dress as featured in Sex and the City during CarrieBradshaw's bridal shoot for Vogue.
The fashionable exhibition is available to view now until March 24 at the Western Australian Museum in Perth, Australia.

Actress: In Iran, my counterpart faces prison
Originally posted at: http://www.cnn.com/2014/05/02/opinion/boniadi-activists-kail-iran/
(CNN) -- At first blush, the biography of Iranian actress Pegah Ahangarani could read very much like my own. Ahangarani is a working actress who supports social causes in her time away from set.
The difference? In October, Ahangarani was sentenced to 18 months in prison for her peaceful activism.
In this regard, she is just the latest in a string of filmmakers and actors of Iranian cinema -- including acclaimed filmmakers Jafar Panahi and Mohammad Rasoulof and actor Ramin Parchami -- to be arrested or sentenced to lengthy prison terms in recent years.
Panahi and Rasoulof each were sentenced to prison -- the former for six years and the latter for five -- and banned from filmmaking for 20 years, accused of making "anti-regime propaganda." Parchami, a prominent actor, was sentenced to prison after he was arrested in anti-government protests. Many more have been arrested and jailed.
In my role as a spokesperson for Amnesty International USA and as a supporter of various charitable causes including Unlock Iran, a campaign to release prisoners of conscience in Iran, I have never been faced with the threat of intimidation or arrest.
Indeed, I cannot even fathom that speaking out for the most vulnerable in society and those locked up for peaceful expression and activities would, in turn, be grounds for my own detention and arrest by government authorities.
A celebrated and hugely popular actress in her native Iran, Ahangarani first landed on the radar of the Iranian authorities for her open support of opposition figure Mir-Hossein Mousavi, which led to her arrest in July 2009 in the aftermath of a disputed presidential election in Iran. Another arrest in July 2011 followed, as well as a ban on her leaving the country.
Now she has been sentenced to 18 months in prison for "acting against national security and links to foreign media." The idea that an actress -- mostly lauded for her performances in more than a dozen films -- somehow represents a threat to Iran's national security is laughable at best. But in Ahangarani's case, far from anything humorous, the allegations have actually resulted in the sober prospect of real prison time.
Ironically, Ahangarani's sentence was handed down just a month after the reopening of the House of Cinema in Tehran, which had been unceremoniously ordered to shut its doors during the tenure of former President Mahmoud Ahmadinejad.
Although the reopening was welcomed by many as a delivery of one of the promises that President Hassan Rouhani made on the campaign trail to increase cultural freedoms for Iranians, the reality is that artists such as Ahangarani, rapper Amir Tataloo and poets Mehdi Mousavi and Fatemeh Ekhtesari -- who were arrested in December and later released -- continue to come under fire for their peaceful exercise of creative expression.
And it's not only artists who languish in Iran's prisons. According to Unlock Iran's reporting, at least 845 people are prisoners of conscience in Iran, jailed for the peaceful exercise of their lifestyle, beliefs or profession. The list of hundreds includes lawyers, students, bloggers, journalists, labor union activists and political opponents.
The crisis is so acute that U.N. Secretary General Ban Ki-moon recently admonished the Iranian government for continuing to jail a large number of political prisoners. And just last month, the mandate of a U.N. expert assessing Iran's human rights record was renewed for yet another year because of the chronic nature of human rights abuses in the country.
Aside from all the reports of abuses, it is an odd thing when your counterpart in another society has experiences that are directly opposite to your own.
My human rights activism has been widely met with encouragement and support. Ahangarani should earn plaudits, not only for her cinematic achievements, but also for her humanitarian deeds and her commitment to increased rights and freedoms for all. She should not be intimidated and silenced with the threat of a lengthy prison sentence looming over her head.
Ahangarani's only "crime" is that she dared be an agent of change and speak out in support of women and young people.
The Iranian leadership is keen to prove that it is ready to engage with the international community, both on resolution of the nuclear issue in ongoing negotiations and renewal of economic ties. In addition to these concerns, human rights should be made an equal priority.
A good first step would be the unconditional pardon of the 843 prisoners of rights and the hundreds of others, such as Ahangarani, who are waiting to serve out their sentences.
Ahangarani, and all those risking their own freedom to ensure the rights of others, are national treasures, not national traitors.

Fulton Fish Market workers this summer.
Fish Market says ruling blocking move is a real load
By Ronda Kaysen
Ask David Samuels why hes still selling fish from a stall on South St. and youll get an earful.
The owner of the Blue Ribbon Fish Company is fuming that a New York State judge ruled against the Fulton Fish Market and the city in a civil case two weeks ago, halting the markets move to a new state-of-the-art facility in the South Bronx.
We dont want to be Downtown, we dont want to be here at all, Samuels said standing inside his stall early Tuesday morning, surrounded by crates of fish and boxes of packaged crabmeat. Were sitting on prime real estate and we dont want to be here.
But for the time being, this is exactly where the fish market will be. Laro Service Systems, the Long Island-based company that has unloaded fish for the merchants for the past 10 years, filed a lawsuit against the city and the market last month after the fish merchants were awarded a license by the city to unload their own fish when they relocate to the new market in the South Bronx.
Laro insists that by giving the fish market which will be a co-operative of about 60 wholesalers dubbed the New Fulton Fish Market Co-operative at Hunts Point rights to both unload and sell fish creates a monopoly. Harking back to an era when the fish market was synonymous with the mafia, Laro maintains that giving so much control over the market to merchants who were allegedly tied to organized crime until a decade ago opens the door for a new era of criminal behavior.
Judge Carol Edmead agreed, ruling against the city and the co-operative on Oct. 5.
Mayor Giuliani shoved organized crime out of the market soon after he came to office in 1994 by establishing stiff background checks for market workers and owners. He also offered an outside company Laro the sole contract to unload fish for the merchants.
The current administration violates city law by granting the co-op an unloading license, Laro insists. In a strange twist of city politics, the lawyer representing Laro now, Randy Mastro, was deputy mayor for Giuliani and led the fight to clean up the fish market in the mid-90s.
Im so disappointed with Mayor Bloomberg, I cant even tell you, said Laro owner Robert Bertuglia, Jr., in a telephone interview. Hes standing side by side with them [the wholesalers] against me.
The ruling, said Bertuglia, proves that justice prevails.
For the merchants toiling Downtown, accusations of organized crime come with a sting. The workers down at the market are tired of being called hoodlums, said Samuels. Besides, Organized crime cant come back. It aint coming back. Why should it come back?
If the city accepted the judges ruling and withdrew the co-ops unloading license, the market could relocate immediately. But both the city and the co-op have opted to appeal instead. They will file an appeal with a midlevel appellate court on Friday in the hopes of overturning the lower courts decision.
The judge misread the law, said Gabriel Taussig, a lawyer for the city, adding that Laro misread it, as well.
While the case works its way through the court system, a brand-new $85 million state-of-the-art facility in the South Bronx sits vacant, awaiting the arrival of the fish market, which has been based on South St. for 170 years.
I cant believe were not there now. Im shocked and Im angry and Im very upset, said Samuels.
Originally slated to move last December, this recent delay marks the fifth time the markets move has been stalled. As merchants wait to move, South St. falls into disrepair. Hallway light bulbs havent been changed in anticipation of an imminent move and the stalls are in need of maintenance. The dank, narrow street, bustling with forklifts and soaked with the stench of fish, has long since passed its prime.
Everyone is quite frustrated because were all in limbo, said Naima Rauam, an artist who has been the markets resident painter since 1983. She rents her studio space, Art in the Afternoon, from Blue Ribbon Fish Company, and plans to move with the market to the new location, although she will still have a presence in the Seaport. Generally the mood at the market is everyone is just sort of spinning their wheels. Just sort of waiting for it to happen.
The delay also costs the merchants money. Already, the co-operative has hired security personnel for the new 430,000-square-foot structure, maintenance workers and a manager. Some merchants have purchased office equipment and supplies, said Rauam, and packed much of their equipment away. Legal fees have cost the co-op as much as $150,000 so far, said Samuels. The city currently pays $70,000 a month in maintenance, security and utilities, costs that would have been paid by the co-operative, if they occupied the new building in the Bronx.
Money is what is driving this entire lawsuit, say some merchants. Its about money, what else would it be? said Frank Minio, president of the co-operative and owner of Smittys Fillet House, standing outside his stall Tuesday morning, surrounded by crates of fish. Bertuglia agrees that money drives his lawsuit. His company stands to lose about $2 million a year if it loses the fish market business. But it is also about doing the right thing, he said.
The question that comes into play is: what is the law? he said. Im ready to move tonight to Hunts Point. I have a license to unload and Im ready to unload.
But the co-operative sees the unloading business as a way to drive down costs in an industry in the midst of a rapid transformation. Its not a great time for the seafood business, said Minio, adding that overhead at the new facility will be much higher than it is now. If the market controls the unloading business, he said, this could wind up being a tremendous boon for the seafood industry.

Cubs Sign Two Cuban Prospects
New Chicago Cubs' owner Tom Ricketts appears to be making good on his promise to spend, in other areas, what he doesn't spend on the Major League roster.
To wit, today the Cubs signed two relatively big-time Cuban players – outfielder Ruby Silva and catcher Yaniel Cabeza – to add to their system depth. Cabeza will get $500,000 and Silva gets a cool $1.2 million.
Silva, 21, is a versatile left-handed hitter who played center field for the champion Havana Vaqueros in the 48th Cuban National series. He can play all three outfield positions and perhaps even the middle infield. He's a good athlete who draws praise as a plus runner with a plus arm. He could begin his pro career in low A ball with the Peoria Chiefs.
Cabeza is a catch-and-throw backstop who reminds some of a young Yadier Molina, though his bat has improved in the last year. MLBTradeRumors.com.
The signings, in and of themselves, are not huge news. Good news, yes, but not huge news. But what they represent – the Cubs' continued effort to spend in the right areas – is seriously encouraging.
We'll have more on the two prospects soon.

If you've already got your knickers in a twist about getting the latest Android 4.1 Jelly Bean operating system from Google on your phone after the Google I/O announcement, then you'll probably explode at the news that Jelly Belly is launching a pair of Jelly Belly headphones for you to show your love for the sweets.
Expected to be available before Christmas, the new headphones will cost £14.99 and come in a range of colours to suit - don't panic, they aren't just available in pink and red.
The headphones themselves will also come with a Jelly Belly-shaped microphone for hands-free talking, and we've been told by the company behind the headphones that they won't smell of the Jelly Belly sweets like the iPhone cases it launched last year.
A quick play at an event in London, and the headphones sound great considering the price, although they don't match those custom fits or top-of-the-range Shure 'phones you are probably already rocking.
Still, with a cute design and bright colours, they should make for the perfect way to show you are rocking the latest version of Android, when of course you do eventually get it.

Noesi helps White Sox edge Mariners
Hector Noesi pitched five-hit ball into the seventh inning for his first win in a month, leading the White Sox to a 1-0 victory over the Seattle Mariners on Sunday.
Noesi (3-6) struck out five and walked two in 6 2-3 innings, a crisp performance against one of his former teams. The right-hander pitched for Seattle for parts of three seasons before he was cut in April.
Chicago finished with just two hits after it had four in Saturday's 3-2 loss in 14 innings. But Conor Gillaspie scored on a wild pitch in the first and Noesi combined with two relievers on a five-hitter.
Eric Surkamp got Robinson Cano to fly out with the bases loaded for the final out of the seventh, and Jake Petricka pitched two innings for his third save in four chances. The solid relief work came one day after the White Sox blew a 2-0 lead in the ninth inning.
Seattle right-hander Taijuan Walker (1-1) lasted just four innings in his second start of the season. The 21-year-old Walker, one of baseball's top pitching prospects, struggled with his control in his first loss in five major league appearances.
The White Sox used Walker's wildness to grab the lead in the first. Gillaspie walked with two outs, advanced to third on Jose Abreu's single and scored when Walker threw his first of two wild pitches on ball four to Adam Dunn.
Walker then got Alexei Ramirez to bounce into a fielder's choice, ending the threat. The White Sox left a runner in scoring position in each of the first five innings.
Walker allowed two hits and struck out three while throwing 83 pitches on a warm, humid day. He tossed six innings in a 10-4 victory at Houston last Monday in his season debut.
Dustin Ackley and Brad Miller had two hits apiece for the Mariners, who had won five of six.
Gillaspie also walked in the third before he left with a bruised right knee after he was hit by a pitch from Dominic Leone in the fifth inning. Gillaspie took a few shaky steps toward first before he was replaced by pinch-runner Leury Garcia.
Second base umpire Dana DeMuth also departed in the fifth after colliding with White Sox second baseman Gordon Beckham. The game continued with three umpires.
NOTES: Seattle ace Felix Hernandez will make his next start Friday against AL West-leading Oakland. Hernandez's next turn was slated for Thursday, but manager Lloyd McClendon said he wanted his best pitcher going up against the A's. McClendon also said he isn't sure yet who will start Thursday against Minnesota. ... Mariners CF James Jones got the day off. Endy Chavez started in center. ... Petricka has a string of eight consecutive scoreless appearances. "His progression and his rise through the bullpen's been pretty impressive," manager Robin Ventura said. ... Seattle returns home to face Minnesota in the opener of a four-game series Monday night. Mariners RHP Hisashi Iwakuma (6-4, 3.33 ERA) and RHP Kevin Correia (4-10, 4.95) are slated to pitch the first game. ... The White Sox begin a four-game set at Boston on Monday night. RHP Scott Carroll (2-5, 5.05 ERA) takes on Red Sox RHP Clay Buchholz (3-4, 6.22) in the series opener.

Written by gothenburgtimes Thursday, 29 April 2010 21:28
As the primary election draws near, it is important for us to remember that many of our local elected officials will be decided upon this May. As taxpayers, it's important for all of us to take a look at what has transpired over the past four years and decide if we are satisfied with the direction our elected officials are taking us.
One very important area of concern is in regards to our local youth and drug/violence prevention programs in our county schools.
During the past several years, we have seen our county DARE (Drug Abuse Resistance Education) program go from one of the top-rated programs in the state of Nebraska to its current state of non-existence. The current administration at the Dawson County Sheriff's Office has "dropped the ball" by allowing this successful local program to just disappear.
Don't believe those who claim that the program is either outdated, too expensive or ineffective. If any of that was true, why would law enforcement agencies like the Gosper County Sheriff's Office (Elwood) join in with over 220 other communities who have started a new DARE program within the past three years?
In fact, this year alone, millions of school children around the world will benefit from DARE, the highly acclaimed program that gives kids the skills they need to avoid involvement in drugs, gangs and violence. In addition, the students also have the opportunity to interact with local law enforcement in a very positive, non-threatening environment.
If you're still unsure about the effectiveness of the DARE curriculum, please seek out one of the many fifth or sixth grade teachers who have hosted the DARE program in their classroom and ask them for their opinion. Or ask one of the thousands of former DARE students, high school role models, parents, grandparents and family members who have participated in our local program.
Paul Schwarz is the only candidate for the Dawson County Sheriff position who has shown an interest in bringing back a positive law enforcement presence into our local schools. After contacting both of us individually shortly after he announced that he was running for sheriff, Paul asked for our opinions, insight and what it would take to reestablish the DARE program in Dawson County. We have both known Paul Schwarz for a number of years and believe that if he is elected, Paul will step up to the challenge, lead the sheriff's office forward and reestablish this valuable program in our county.
Please join us by voting on May 11 for Paul Schwarz, Dawson County Sheriff. "A Sheriff of the people, for the people."

The theme for the first World's Alzheimer's Awareness month is Dementia: Living Together. The goal? To reduce the stigma associated with dementia and form a community that is more friendly to those living with the disease. There are lots of things you can do to help raise awareness and help the cause to end Alzheimer's.
1. Alzheimer's Action Day is Sept. 21. Take a picture of yourself wearing purple and post in on Facebook and Twitter. Go Purple to spread the word! Tag #ENDALZ
2. Learn how to overcome the stigmas. Teach others. 35 million people and their families are affected by dementia.
3. Start Talking. Do you know someone with Alzheimer's or Dementia? Have you ever had a heart to heart with a memory caregiver? How do you think you would be treated if you had memory problems? Find more great questions to get you started at Alzheimer's Speaks Blog.
4. Spend time with family members and friends affected by dementia.
Having a conversation with someone living with Alzheimer's or dementia isn't always easy – especially if you were close before and the relationship has changed as memories are affected. Believe it or not, jigsaw puzzles are a great way to start the conversation. Puzzles for Alzheimer's are made specifically for people with dementia and their loved ones. They come with only a few pieces – usually 6 or 12, and feature hand-picked images that are meant to strike up a conversation or bring back a memory.

India most optimistic on hiring plans for Apr-Jun quarter: Survey
India has emerged as the most optimistic nation in terms of hiring plans for the next three months and sectors such as aviation, IT & ITeS and retail are likely to see an increase in payrolls.
According to the Employment Outlook Survey released today by workforce solutions major ManpowerGroup, 41 per cent of the surveyed Indian employers are expected to add on to their staff levels in second-quarter of this calender year.
"Government initiatives, increased industry participation, rise of start-up ventures and emergence of India as an investment destination are some of the key factors that have fuelled the economy's growth," ManpowerGroup India Group Managing Director A G Rao said.
"...employer hiring intentions remain positive in all seven sectors covered in the survey, primarily driven by aviation, IT & ITeS and retail sectors where employer hiring sentiment appears to be improving," Rao added.
Employers, across most sectors, in India had been apprehensive of hiring due to uncertainty in overall business environment. However, things are expected to improve in 2014, the survey that covered 5,302 employers in India said.
"As hiring is set to rebound in India, competition for talent is likely to prove intense. Upturn in demand for outsourcing from the US and other countries will boost prospects for individuals with engineering and programming skills," ManpowerGroup President Darryl Green said.
The survey noted that the headwinds encountered in many global labor markets may be moderating amid numerous signs of measured optimism among employers.
Staffing levels are expected to increase in 38 of 42 countries and territories covered under the survey, ManpowerGroup said.
The strongest hiring plans across the globe are expected from employers in India, Taiwan, New Zealand, Turkey and Costa Rica.
Conversely, the weakest second-quarter forecasts are expected from employers in Italy, the Czech Republic and in France where the net employment outlook seems to be slipping into negative territory for the second time in the past four quarters.
"There is improvement across industries and geographies. Although the improvement is still very cautious and not as robust as we've seen in the past, there are signals that confidence is starting to take hold," ManpowerGroup Chairman and CEO Jeffrey A Joerres said.

Help w/cleaning up radio audio of Michigan vs. Florida
So I decided to start recording the radio broadcasts after learning we will probably never have a full broadcast of the Kansas game (would have loved to re-live Matt Shepard's call durin the last two minutes). Eventually these audio recordings will be synced up with the HD network broadcasts so we can have hometeam audio + network video. Look for that this coming football season.
The only problem is that mgoblue.com was linking to the CBS national radio broadcast. I couldn't find an internet stream of the local broadcast. I was forced to record the analog broadcast with line-in audio to my PC. The only problem is that you get the constant buzzing/sound interference typical of analog audio.
Are there any audio gurus out there who might be able to clean up the audio/take the buzzing out? I can cut the commercials out myself, I just need help with taking out the distortion. Here's the .mp3 of the broadcast - https://dl.dropbox.com/u/1308556/Michigan%20vs.%20Florida.mp3
PS - has anyone been able to find an online stream of Matt Shepard calling the game? If so, where?

Tale of the Thomases
The fall of the Thomas brothers is indicative of the hubris that permeated Mashantucket Pequot tribal leadership during the first decade of the millennium. Foxwoods Resort Casino appeared ready to keep generating endless riches. Perhaps it is not shocking that in such an environment some tribal officials could rantionalize using tribal money for personal use or benefitting from a pretend job.
Then reality intervened in the form of a severe recession, increased competition, and excessive tribal debt.
No one is more emblematic of that rise and fall than Michael Thomas, who served as chairman from 2003-2009. Mr. Thomas managed to squander so much money (his salary was $860,000 in 2008) that by the time federal authorities arrived to place the handcuffs on him last January for stealing from the tribe, he had to turn to a public defender. He couldn't afford a lawyer.
This past July a federal jury found Mr. Thomas, 45, guilty of three counts involving theft from the tribe. He charged more than $100,000 in personal expenses on his tribal card without reimbursing the tribe, ignoring warnings it was illegal.
Sentencing is set for Oct. 22. Mr. Thomas is almost certainly headed for prison.
With a closer tie to current tribal leadership was the arrest of Mr. Thomas' younger brother, Steven Thomas. Mr. Thomas, 39, held a "no-show" job as assistant director of the tribe's Department of Natural Resources from 2005-2008. He received a hefty salary for no work. It became a federal criminal matter because his department received federal environmental grants.
It remains troubling that the Tribal Council did not demand Steven Thomas step aside as treasurer after his January indictment. Being as "thick as thieves" is not a reputation that serves the tribe well. On Thursday, Mr. Thomas pleaded guilty to stealing more than $177,000 through his bogus job. A day earlier, he had resigned as treasurer. As part of the plea deal, he seems likely to escape prison time.
The Mashantuckets are confronting a new reality. Six-figure tribal member stipends ended three years ago. The tribe has worked out a plan to restructure its massive debt. Work is underway to build outlet stores to bring more visitors to the casino.
However, there is no denying these convictions have sullied the tribe's image. The tribal council did not help by for so long keeping as its treasurer a tribal official under indictment for theft.
The editorial board is composed of the publisher and four journalists of varied editing and reporting backgrounds. The board's discussions and information gained from its meetings with political, civic, and business leaders drive the institutional voice of The Day, as expressed in its editorials. The editorial department operates separately from the newsroom.

Forty years after its premiere, is the movie version of 2001: A Space Odyssey coming true? An article on science website PhysOrg.com claims that Stanley Kubrick's vision of the then-future of space travel and human existence was more prescient than it initially seemed, way back in the swinging '60s.
The article - which begins "When 2001: A Space Odyssey premiered 40 years ago, living and working in space full time was science fiction. Today, three resident crew members are aboard the International Space Station 365 days a year operating one of the most complex engineering projects in history," letting you know just what you're in for - lists the many ways in which the "ultimate trip" has come true:
— One of the most notable visions is the large, low Earth orbiting, revolving space station in the film. Although the shape is different, today's space station is permanently crewed and international. — Flat-screen computer monitors that were unheard of in 1968 are now commonly used on the space station.
The film imagines glass cockpits in spacecraft, which are now present on the flight deck of the space shuttle. — The film also envisions in-flight entertainment in space. Today there are DVDs, iPods and computers with e-mail access. — Another famous scene from the movie depicts an astronaut jogging in space. Aboard the International Space Station, exercise in space is routine. In April 2007, 210 miles above Earth, astronaut Sunita Williams ran the Boston Marathon while in orbit.
And, most importantly, in March 2006, astronaut Dave Bowman was turned into a floating space baby by a giant black slab after surviving a malfunctioning computer trying to kill him and singing "Daisy, Daisy". Strange they don't mention that one.
It's a chilling thought, though; 2001 is many things - long, ponderous, ultimately sterile and a product of pretension and the late '60s zeitgeist to name just a few - but I've never thought of it as a model of the kind of world that I'd want to live in. Can't The Last Starfighter come true, instead?

UNDP and Japan Expand Partnership for a Better Future in the Arab WorldApr 14, 2014
New York —The Government of Japan and the United Nations Development Programme (UNDP) this week launched the third phase of a major initiative in support of transition in the Arab States region, expanding the partnership to cover 14 countries with the addition of Iraq, Lebanon and Palestine.
"UNDP's partnership with Japan in the Arab States region is focused on the most critical issues in each country where we are working together," said Sima Bahous, Assistant Administrator of UNDP and Director of UNDP's Regional Bureau for Arab States. "We are thankful to the Government and the People of Japan for their timely and relevant support."
The announcement comes at a critical time for the Arab region, which for over three years has been swept by a major wave of change which brings with it new opportunities — but also new risks.
This third phase builds upon work that has been ongoing since 2012 in Algeria, Djibouti, Egypt, Jordan, Libya, Morocco, Somalia, Sudan, Syria, Tunisia, and Yemen, on critical issues ranging from support for youth employment, to support for electoral and constitution-drafting processes, and support for development responses to the Syria crisis.
Originally launched as a response to the wave of change that began to sweep the region in early 2011, the initiative is intended to help the Arab region achieve stability and resilience during a time of transition, and covers work spanning 2012 to 2014 with a total budget of USD 106 million, under Japan's Supplementary Budget.
For UNDP and the Government of Japan the most important requirement is that the resources disbursed lead to concrete and tangible results for the peoples of the Arab region. On 17-18 March UNDP and government counterparts from across the region met in Algeria to exchange experiences and test ideas for accelerated delivery and enhanced impact of this joint work, in particular in the area of engaging youth in job creation and nation-building.
At the event, His Excellency Mr. Tsukasa Kawada, Ambassador of Japan in Algeria, described the promotion of youth employment as one of the most fundamental and effective policies to achieve economic growth, and cited stronger growth in the Arab world as important for this region and indeed for the international community as a whole.

text: A Kamikaze unit is more than just a minifig with a deathwish, striding confidently into a battle situation he has no hope of ever winning. That describes every normal, well-adjusted minifig in the BrikVerse. No, a Kamikaze is a unit that specifically charges in with the express intent to die in the most dramatic way possible, taking as many people with her, friend or foe. Often, a Kamikaze will carry ridiculous amounts of explosives, intent on causing the largest bang possible, but a true Kamikaze is happy to die in whatever way is most entertaining. Players should take it as a test of imagination to find bigger, better, and funnier ways for these units to die. Kamikazes have the potential to be some of the goddamn funniest units in the game but such an outcome lies in the hands of a clever player. This is one of the primary reasons tactiks developed at all in the BrikVerse. Timing is everything in comedy and a Kamikaze maneuvered into the right place at the right time has the ability to maximize and magnify the comedic value of a good BrikWar.

Oregon football team challenges student body to snowball fight
EUGENE, Ore. - The Duck football team challenged the University of Oregon student body to a snowball fight.
A melee ensued.
Just before noon, University officials sent out an email informing students, faculty and staff that "classes, events and non-essential services" would be canceled at 2 p.m.
Almost immediately the football team tweeted a message they were challenging the student body to a snowball fight at 1:30 at the Erb Memorial Union building.
About a dozen football players, including Heisman candidate quarterback Marcus Mariota and running back De'Anthony Thomas, faced off against about 100 of their fellow students in a snowball fight that lasted nearly an hour.

While the 2013 Aprilia RSV4 Factory APRC may look like the same dominant superbike that has been blowing the doors off at bike shootouts, but the company from Noale has made some subtle changes to its V4 street weapon, the most noticeable of which is a three-level dual-channel ABS system from Bosch. The ABS unit can be completely disengaged, should a rider feel it necessary to retain the ability to lock-up the newly added Brembo M430/M50 calipers (the same brake calipers as the Ducati 1199 Panigale), and brings the Aprilia RSV4 in-line with its other liter-bike competitors.
While Aprilia could have stopped there and called things a day, the Italian brand has made further changes to the Aprilia RSV4 Factory APRC's stock engine placement in the chassis, as well as other refinements in the RSV4's exhaust and ECU. The result is a lower center of gravity, and a mild boost in peak horsepower and mid-range torque, which brings the revised RSV4 Factory up to 181.4hp at the crank and 86.3 lbs•ft of peak torque @ 10,500 rpm.

U.S. Government's Financial Statements Important Tool in Understanding Federal Fiscal Picture, Former AICPA Board Chair Reminds Lawmakers During Capitol Hill Visits
October 17, 2013
Gregory Anton, CPA, CGMA, immediate past chair of the American Institute of CPAs (AICPA) Board of Directors, spent the day in Washington, D.C. on September 18 to remind members of Congress about the importance of reviewing the U.S. government's financial statements as part of a comprehensive look at federal fiscal matters.
Anton was invited by U.S. Representative Patrick Murphy (D-Fla.), a CPA and co-chair of the Congressional United Solutions Caucus, to address the members of the caucus, including fellow CPA Congressman Tom Rice (R-S.C.), and brief them on the AICPA's What's at Stake? The CPA Profession on Federal Fiscal Responsibility program.
"As one of only a dozen CPAs in Congress," Murphy said, "I have an appreciation for the insight financial statements play in assessing fiscal well-being. I thank Greg and the AICPA for bringing much-needed attention to the role the government's financial statements should play in the federal budget process to help us find common sense solutions to our fiscal challenges. This is important given that so many of the challenges we are dealing with are math problems. The What's at Stake? initiative provides valuable insight into how we can better ascertain the situation to make the best decisions for our nation's future."
The United Solutions Caucus, a bipartisan organization consisting of 30 members of Congress, focuses on finding long-term, bipartisan solutions to problems and helping build relationships across party lines.
Anton explained to caucus members how the U.S. government's financial statements provide a deeper perspective than simply focusing on the government's annual budget. Anton, founding partner and chairman/CEO, Anton, Collins, Mitchell, CPA firm in Denver, also met with U.S. Senator Mark Udall (D-Colo.) and the chief of staff to U.S. Representative Ed Perlmutter (D-Colo.) to brief them about the What's at Stake? initiative.
"I am honored to have been invited by Congressman Murphy to meet with and brief the Congressional United Solutions Caucus," Anton said. "Given the financial issues currently facing Congress, this meeting was timely. The members of Congress with whom I met expressed appreciation that the accounting profession is taking the lead on important projects such as What's at Stake. I believe the profession can continue to serve as an important resource for policymakers in this regard."
Information about the What's at Stake? initiative and related resources are available on the AICPA website.
